I'm with Larry here. Dunno what the legal position is but in my book if a car knocks down someone on foot it is more likely to be the car drivers negligence than the pedestrians. I know there are exceptions (Kids, bikes, drunkards 'leaping out in front of me') but I think, at least hope, that the law would take the side of the luckless morris dancer. Doesn't help reduce the injury I know but at least we should not need to put up with insult as well!

I noticed, this year in particular, while performing with Abram Morris, that car drivers are getting more reluctant to wait until the dance has finished and try to squeeze past, even driving on the pavement sometimes. What is the matter with people? Why can they not wait 2 minutes?

I guess we do have to move on sometimes but it is not always for the better.

Cheers
